CATEGORY THEORY as an extension of Martin - Lflf Type Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Category theory has tong been widely recognised as being conveniently formalisable In constructive mathematics. We describe a computer implementation of its basic concepts, as an extension of the Goteborg implementation of Martin-Lofs theory of types; we discuss some alternative formulations of the theory (and our reasons for rejecting them) and briefly comment on the problems of automating the theorem-proving facilities of such an implementation.

A History of Selected Topics in Categorical Algebra I: From Galois Theory to Abstract Commutators and Internal Groupoids
This paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical Galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in Barr exact Mal’tsev and more general categories. Galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...
متن کاملInjectivity in a category: an overview on smallness conditions
Some of the so called smallness conditions in algebra as well as in category theory, are important and interesting for their own and also tightly related to injectivity, are essential boundedness, cogenerating set, and residual smallness. In this overview paper, we first try to refresh these smallness condition by giving the detailed proofs of the results mainly by Bernhard Banaschewski and W...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Behavioral Theories towards Farmers’ Water Conservation
According to experts, the inefficient agricultural sector has a dominant role in degrading water resources all over the world. Farmers’ conservational behavior is an important aspect of new integrated water management studies. Relevantly, various behavioral theories have been proposed in the field of environmental psychology. The main objective of the present comparative analysis and review stu...
متن کاملAppraisal Theory in Translation Studies: An Introduction and Review of Studies of Evaluation in Translation
Translation studies (TS), as a young (inter)discipline, has partly relied on metadiscussions, critical assessments of its literature, and compilation of bibliographies to deal with certain problems of its youth, such as polarity and fragmentation. While the current status of TS shows general maturity, there are still young areas of inquiry in the discipline that are faced with similar issues. T...
متن کاملHomotopical Patch Theory (expanded Version)
Homotopy type theory is an extension of Martin-Löf type theory, based on a correspondence with homotopy theory and higher category theory. In homotopy type theory, the propositional equality type becomes proof-relevant, and corresponds to paths in a space. This allows for a new class of datatypes, called higher inductive types, which are specified by constructors not only for points but also fo...
